Creator's Key Takeaways

I find Montreal I feel safe. I would um I wouldn't let my guard down because tourists still are a prime uh target in any city.

It has 1.6 million residents and 32 million visitors annually.

We're we're it's really approaching diminishing returns where the amount of money you're putting out and getting in is getting much the gap between them is getting smaller and smaller.

I would rather avoid the crowds and go in fall.
